Garmin talk

Is there a way that I can see/read the whole route on a Garmin Nuvi 360? I'd be interested to see which way it's going to take me to certain places.

Hey all. I just updated my nuvi 660 to ver 4.50, blue tooth is at 3.10, gps software version is at 3.00, and audio is at 1.90.

Hi all,

My new Garmin C550 took anywhere from 5-10 minutes to acquire the satellites outdoor when it was powered on after being powered off for 10 hours or overnight. Is this normal?

I thought the SiRF III chip set is much better than the older generation in my Navman iCN 510 and the NavMan came up usually less than 5 min in similar circumstances (powered off for overnight).

Well, walking out of my apartment the other day, my girlfriend dropped my nuvi 350. Woops. That was a costly one.

Screen display all wacked out (not cracked) -- the screen turns on, but its all scrambly. Sounds like it powers up fine, finds the satellites, etc, but no way to input directions.

So, what are my options?

1: Pay Garmin $175 to fix it (maybe includes the new map upgrade).

There is a very long thread going regarding the price of the nüvi. I was going to post this there but figured I'd start a new thread so that, perhaps, more folks might see it. Anyway.......

I have put numerous POIs on my &60, but they do not display when I am driving (I have to really zoom in to see them). Is there a way I can set them to display during normal driving?

I have downloaded my sound poi files to my nuvi 66o but how can i use the voice over the tones warning like at redlight cameras and seep cameras ? i call garmin they told me i could only use the tones for alerts ! if anyone can help me please do thanks guys .

Hi all;

New to the site (which is great). Anyone know how to get the proximity points menu on my Garmin to show up? I have the latest software and have the POI loader for mac.

Also: will proximity alerts work with csv files or do I need gpx files? thanks

I purchased a nuvi 200w approximately 9 months ago. I scanned the included POI that came in the unit, and noticed that more than a third in my area were obsolete or incorrect. Does Garmin ever update these files for download, or is the only option to purchase the new map with hopefully an updated POI file?

Thanks, Bob

What a bummer!

Anyone know any way to change the keypad to QWERTY on the Nuvi 660?

Hi guys: I just wanted to share my recent negative experience with Garmin, and am looking forward to your suggestions and/or feedback.

On Saturday, I upgraded the software on my 650. Now, when in navigation mode, the green information bar does not use control cities or the word Exit when giving information. For example, I used to receive information that said: "2 mi: Exit 20, Rt 85, Hopkinton, Milford" Now I get "2 mi, 20: rt 85"

I have downloaded the "SWcampgrounds" file and I can see all the sites in the downloaded file, however when I load it into the Nuvi, only the first site is displayed on my Nuvi 650 and none of the details of the site are displayed.

Is there a problem with the file format?

I have downloaded several other files that display normally.

Does anyone know how to make a POI for an elevated road. I have two roads one elavated about 20 ft. higher than the one on the ground. The speed limits are different and when I am on the elevated one the alarm sounds for the lower speed limit on the ground level one.

When I load a Custom Set of POI's in my Nuvi 660 Such as the wal-Mart file it loads ok but when i load another set of files they will delete the previously installed file. What am I doing wrong?

Check out this bad boy!!

I just might have to sell my Nuvi 660 soon!!! Play the tutorial and be amazed!! Oh and the new vehicles it uses seem to work FINE on my Nuvi 660, check out the 800jet!!

Hi Everyone, First let me start of with I am a newbie. I sent Ms POI an update for a new Famous Dave's in my city. She updated the POI file. I downloded it and sent it to my nuvi 750. I cannot find the location on the nuvi under Custom POIs.

Has anyone had your Garmin announce "Road Closed Ahead. Recalculating."

The last time I used my 760 I got that announcement every few minutes. It did not change my routing and the road was not closed.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm a newbie and have a Nuvi 650. I downloaded The Tennessee, South Carolina and Miss. state park files with campgrounds. When I go to EXTRAS the files are there but when I search for "RV" or "CAMPGROUNDS" I don't get any of them. Any Suggestions?
